View Source Device errors

This page details the errors that can affect a device while it's sending data. The user can monitor device errors by installing a device trigger on device_error or checking the Devices tab in the Astarte Dashboard. The same errors are also provided as log messages on Data Updater Plant.

write_on_server_owned_interface

write_on_server_owned_interface

The device is trying to write on a server owned interface. The device can only push data on device owned interfaces.

invalid_interface

invalid_interface

The interface name received in the message is invalid.

invalid_path

invalid_path

The path received in the message is invalid. This might happen when a path does not have a valid path format or it's not a valid UTF-8 string.

mapping_not_found

mapping_not_found

The path received in the message can't be found in the interface mappings. This could be the result of the device having a more recent version of the inteface than the one installed in the realm or an interface with the same name and version but different contents.

interface_loading_failed

interface_loading_failed

The target interface was not found in the database. Usually this means the interface is not installed in the realm, but the error can also derive from the database being temporarily unavailable.

ambiguous_path

ambiguous_path

The path received in the message can't be mapped univocally on a mapping. This is often the result of an incomplete path.

undecodable_bson_payload

undecodable_bson_payload

The payload of the message can't be decoded as BSON.

unexpected_value_type

unexpected_value_type

The value of the message does not have the expected type (e.g. the mapping expects a string value but an integer value was received instead).

value_size_exceeded

value_size_exceeded

The value of the message exceeds the maximum size of its type. The size limitations of the types are documented here.

unexpected_object_key

unexpected_object_key

An object aggregated value with an unexpected key was received.

invalid_introspection

invalid_introspection

The introspection sent from the device can't be parsed correctly. The introspection format is documented here.

unexpected_control_message

unexpected_control_message

The device sent a message on an unhandled control path. The supported control paths are detailed in the protocol documentation.

device_session_not_found

device_session_not_found

Data Updater Plant failed to push data towards the device. This could result from the device being currently offline and not having a persistent session on the MQTT broker or from the device not having all the MQTT subscriptions required by the Astarte protocol

resend_interface_properties_failed

resend_interface_properties_failed

Data Updater Plant failed to resend the properties of an interface. This could result from the device declaring a uninstalled properties interface in its introspection right before an emptyCache.

empty_cache_error

empty_cache_error

The empty cache operation for a device failed. This could result from a temporary database failure.
